England Cricket Summer 2012

[Woodsey]

Are tickets on sale for Trent bridge/ old Trafford yet or are they already sold out?

Not on sale yet, I have mates who will be on priority lists for both venues and nothing has happened so far.

Septemberish for TB, no date for OT as yet.

After so long relying on quicks, it looks like the Windies' future may lie in spin. Some mystery spinner is going to get his debut this week.

Will be interesting to see what impact he has, given how much our players fell apart against spin in the winter, even if a soggy, cold Edgbaston is hardly a spinner's paradise.

I have a ticket for Friday and have an unbroken record of not losing any play for rain or bad light over my years of watching Tests. I fear that record will go this year and I'll be spending Friday morning in a Birmingham pub.

Been a hell of a test match.

Why are we only playing 3 tests against South Africa again?

Thank god to be honest cause we've been quite comfortably outplayed. Dont think our bowling attack is 100% sharp,the top 3 look nervy and out of touch, our fielding has been quite shabby with costly drops which really isn't like us recently. Also the kp thing can't have helped!!

That philander is something like!!

We play India next and, if we win that series, we get the mace back.

SA apparently only play 3 match series, with occasional back-to-back home and aways, like they did with Australia.

 We've been outplayed in all departments but we shouldn't get too disheartened by it

[buzzharvey22]

Also, I was kinda gutted when Boucher retired,because I actualy think them having ABD keep wicket massively strengthens their team. And I don't think there's any world 11 ever that jacques kallis wouldn't get into, just oozes class

Might I just add how pleased I was with today's performance by the mighty Bears for their - at least thus far - demonlition of Worcs at New Road? We are edging closer to that championship.

With no Bell and no Trott, we have still managed to get runs. Missing Woakes on Lions duty and in ODI squads has been frustrating, too. Really believe Woakes could be a genuine player at England level. About time someone tapped Bopara on the shoulder and told him he's had his chance(s) and now it's time to step aside.
